Well, the battery crapped out and I replaced it. Before it was replaced the red battery light came on. I was having trouble starting the car, no lights, no crank, etc. I couldnt use more than one power option at a time or nothing would move. The lights would dim/brigthen at idle. I'm thinking this may be the alternator. Any and all help would be appreciated. Sorry for the crappy problem description.

sounds like the alt to me. do the lights flicker at idle? any noise through the stereo?

www.4alterstart.com has a high amp alternator i highly recommend.

the lights do flicker at idle. but the inside ones will dim atfer the car is off if i use power stuff. i can be driving and tap the brakes or use the blinker and the radio will go off then come back on. =/

new alternator time!!!

that is, assuming all the wires are intact under the hood. i am pretty sure you know about that though, lol . ;) might want to stop by autozone just to have the battery re-checked. its possible you got a dud.
